By posting here you agree to and accept the following rules.

The Rules:

1. Post new comments at the top using a level 2 header.
2. Post all comments in correct English. This means real English, not the bastardised forms from the colonies.
3. You will use correct grammar.
4. No member of the Administration team is to post here. The only exception is a post whilst performing a sysop only action. Any sysop posting here, and the comments they make, are considered to be an official act relating to their duties as a sysop. Posting outside of these parameters will result in a misconduct case.
5. You will not be a moron.
6. You will sign your posts in the conventional manner.

Posts not conforming to the above will be removed without response. Having your post removed is a clear sign I do not wish you to post here. Repeat offenders shall be taken to Vandal Banning as per precedent.

If you are here to bitch and whine that I've removed your ad from the Recruitment page, don't bother posting at all. Instead, go here and report me as a vandal. If you are too stupid to work out why I've removed your ad, I really don't want to hear anything from you.

You're useless

Hey man I've waited and waited I've asked nicely for all sorts of help from you. I can't even get you to reply to my questions any more. Well here's what's gonna happen over on the recruitment page. I'm gonna write up the policy I like then I'm gonna get it voted through with every person I can possibly get to vote. You might want to help me write it because if you don't your buddies over at the Pk knights might end having to advertise in only 1 section of the wiki like everyone else. So once again. PLEASE HELP ME COME UP WITH A POLCIY FOR THE RECRUITMENT PAGE THAT DOESN"T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE DEM or don't and we'll just leave you out of it entirely--Kristi of the Dead 00:31, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Can I send you a E-mail or something? --Matt Aries 05:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

You can PM over at Barhah.com under this user name. However if you are trying to contest page ownership, then doing it straight to me is pointless, you'll have to go through the Arbitration process on the relevant wiki page. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge!

Hey.

Any chance of buckling to pressure and re-voting on the talking to oneself suggestion? It looks like its going to fail to reach peer reviewed by one vote. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately not. I had a valid justification on there, and then received an escalation when even Gnome admits he didn't strike my vote in the manner specified to make it a sysop strikeout. Coupled with the votes that have yet to be struck on this suggestion, including such gems as "MAH SEX IS AHN FIAH!" by one of the sysop team clearly demonstrates sysop bias. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge!

Salt the Land

Just noticed this edit of yours. No biggie for me but what history exactly? Are you claiming old RRF alts don't retire to squat the Blackmore anymore? I know from talking to Murray that RRF doesn't support Salt the Land as such except in Ridleybank of course so I'm just curious as to your reasoning.--Zeug 04:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Simple history. That sentence implied that it had always been the focus of the RRF's hold on Ridleybank. The focus was Moggridge PD back when Petro founded the Front. The Gray Guard retire there, not Blackmore. The only reason that Blackmore sees so much action in the 'bank is due to survivors constantly focussing on it, see tomorrow's stupidity. Because of the harmans' focus on this, the Praetorian Guard are forced to spend time there, not due to any orriding policy or tactical bias.
Only Moggridge holds special significance, Blackmore is just another building. It's just the most popular location for idiots to organise themselves into buffets though. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem!

If I may ask

Why do you insist on splitting hairs to the degree that you do? This is a serious question. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 10:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Enforceable precedent is the only thing that can guarantee consistent and fair treatment to users in this community. Given that the community has rejected the notion of making sysops into moderators time and again, someone has to remind everyone when these statutes are ignored.
The constant interpretation of simple black and white rules and the inability of sysops to vote misconduct on textbook cases is a form of moderation. It is the changing or selective application of these policies without oversight or censure that is an insidious form of moderation. If a policy is wrong it should still be continued to be enforced until it is changed through the established channels. The resistance to this very simple process by the admin team whilst they continue their ways forces normal users to loudly point this out. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 10:41, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
You misunderstand me. I agree with the premise that rules should be adhered to, but the degree to which you take it strikes me as... excessive. I mean, take this example. Does it not seem to you that claiming the difference between using {{s}} and <s> tags as being sufficient to make one legal and the other not is at all a little ridiculous? They both accomplish the same purpose, only in slightly differing visual ways. I don't think you're going to achieve a great deal apart from the loss of your own credibility in the eyes of most (I know you don't care about what most people think, but if you're serious about your goals then you're going to need other people on your side) and - if you insist on challenging rules in such silly little ways - perhaps even your bannage.
I would even go so far as to put it to you that you even lose out to the wording of the rules - there is a clause somewhere (which I can't be bothered finding, but you should know of it given the length of time you've been around) in the guidelines that allows sysops to go against the exact lettering of a rule if it means keeping to its spirit. I don't think any of the things you have accused any sysop of doing in recent times have been in contravention of any rule's spirit. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 10:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Normally the aren't different, but because the template specifically states the method that should be used it overrides that. If a sysop can't strike a vote correctly when the template telling them to do so is on the same page, how can the community trust them to be in charge of banning and deletions. Take my example about deletions, both function to remove the content, but because there is clear procedure about what a deletion means that takes precedence.
Credibility on this wiki is not something I'm concerned about frankly given the conduct of those on the administration team. The policy you quote can be found here. The specific section is "Moderators, as trusted users of the wiki, are given the right to make judgment calls and use their best discretion on a case-by-case basis. Should the exact wording of the policies run contrary to a moderator's best good-faith judgment and/or the spirit of the policies, the exact wording may be ignored." There are two immediate problems with this sentence. Firstly the word 'moderators' is still in there. Policy, that users took time to debate and vote on, from February 2007 clearly states that "Each official document ranging from the System Operator Guidelines to the Suggestions page would have any mention of Moderator replaced with System Operator, and Mod replaced with Sysop." Why has this not been done? Twenty months later and this simple maintenance, the raison d'etre of the sysop team has not been done. The second problem is the use of the words 'trusted users', sysops are no longer perceived to be trusted by the community in general, the meta community that is, how many more users do you think we'd have if that was changed?
As for changing the rules, again I don't think it'll allowed to happen by the admin team. Either they'll slander the user to Kevan until he uses his veto or they'll just remove the policy and take (or have someone else) take the author to A/VB. It won't happen and will kill this wiki as a community. It'll become an out of date former resource because the admin team wanted to act like Brainstock mods. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 11:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
That's the document that was voted on. Here's the official policy document, which is "moderator" free. --Midianian|T|DS|C:RCS| 11:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
It's still an 'official document' is it not? Then according to the voted policy that should have also been changed. I did have a link to a different example which demonstrated the selectiveness in application of such changes by the admin team, but I appear to have lost it. I'll see if I can find it when I get off this work computer. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem!

So basically, that whole arbies case is being made because you're "rules lawyering" and because of a rule that technically isn't official in the way that people like it nowadays?-- dǝǝɥs ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 13:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Warning

This is an official warning and, as this is a sysop only action, I am entitled to post here to inform you of it. Please do not unstrike your own struck votes from suggestions which have been struck as trolling votes by a sysop. Attempting to avoid this by claiming that it was blanked rather than struck does not distract from the fact that it was clearly a trolling vote that was removed by a sysop. Please do not repeat this behaviour as you may face a ban from the wiki. -- Cheese 22:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Yet another case of established guidelines not being followed by sysops. The process of a sysop strike is clearly different from a normal user blanking a vote, although Gnome may be a sysop he did not strike it in the correct manner meaning it cannot count as a sysop strike. It would be like a sysop removing all content from a page after receiving a deletion request and instead just removing all content from the page in question. Although functionally similar, they are demonstratively different in that any user could remove all content from a page (or blank a vote) but only a sysop can delete the page in question (or strike a vote).
Enforcing the written and provable guidelines seems to be some sort of anathema to our current team of sysops. As shown above they instead decide to invent and twist these very simple to understand rules to persecute users that they are displeased with.
I would debate this with you, but you have no right to reply here. That must really suck. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 10:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Where the hell did slavery allegations come from?

Anyway, about the suggestion. Yep it is a nerf to ruin, but i feel its also of benefit to ruin. Care to explain where ive gone wrong? (Please use the word asshat in your response.)--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:10, 8 October 2008 (BST)

As Shatner never said "Ransack is a two faceted skill". The ruin side (the byproduct of ransack, the destroyed building itself) has recently been buffed by the update, and most suggestions recently, including your own seek to modify this in some way. The other facet is the act of getting to this point, the conflict of clearing the building and damaging it. Your suggestion buffs the first facet whilst nerfing the second. It'll mean that zombies will now have to breach the cades, see off the actives, kill the harmans and then spend even more AP to gain the damage. Hordes like MOB or The Second Big Bash are obviously not going to even notice the difference, however the small feral groups of players who happen to be online at the same time and have a good run with the RNG against the cades are really going to notice this and suffer.
It'll increase the possibility of zerging meatshielding (albeit in a tiny proportion) and re-increase mall centric play, which is something I'm against.
The gamespace/realspace comparison I was making is obvious, compare a large 5 star hotel's interior space with that of a back street boozer, in game they both require the same amount of AP even though there is a huge difference in their areas. The notion that malls would require more AP to ransack did not appeal to me for this reason. I understand you needed to demonstrate a 'downside' in order for the suggestion to stand a hope of passing, but I thought you picked the wrong one.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad or broken suggestion, it's just one I disagree with, resulting in one of my rare Kill votes rather than a Spam or Dupe. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge!

Recruitment page

Care to comment? - User:Whitehouse 13:40, 9 September 2008 (BST)

Soldier and the Special Zombie Extermination Squad

The Background

It is important to remember when reading this the difference between a player and their individual characters.

I, Iscariot, Patron Saint of Dupes, also maintain the Recruitment page. During routine maintenance I noticed an ad that broke the guidelines. Instead of removing it, as was my right, I decided to inform the owner that they should correct their ad. This user then decided to respond on my talk page with demands. I do not tolerate demands and responded appropriately.

The Continuation

Soldier then decided to respond to his disagreement with myself, the player, by listing one of my characters on his group's enemy and Kill On Sight list. He did not pick my death cultist that actively hurts the survivor cause, he chose to select my Philosophe Knight. For reference my Philosophe Knight is a pacifist, does not harm survivors and is actively moving through the entirety of Malton repairing museums and libraries. Over time he has added a threat rating to the list in question and has listed my character as a 'Moderate' threat. That is on par with characters that have actually killed other survivors and higher than known and respected PKer group SillyLillyPilly.

An Act of Kindness

Instead of resolving the matter ingame with the murder of his entire group by my death cultist, I was forced to respond from the position of my Knight to avoid breaking the spirit of the anti-zerging rule. Accordingly I tried to be diplomatic and posted terms of surrender for Soldier to accept. Not only did he not agree to these terms, but the response he did give breached many of the terms.

Resolution

Based on the subject's continued actions and attitudes, I am forced to allow my Philosophe Knight to judge him, and his group, based on the Articles of Ignorance

The subject is found guilty of the following crimes:

Class A
Slander
Class B
Ignorance

The punishment for such crimes is clear. Repeated education by a Philosophe Knight educator or by an allied group.

The group is found guilty of:

Mass Hindrance
Mass Slander

The punishment for these crimes is also clear, addition to the Enemies of Enlightenment list and education on sight for all members

The Knowledge

The following are known profiles of the criminals:

Soldier

Zombie Hunter Recon

Reporter John

This edit also implies that SZES uses zerging tactics

Their most likely location is The Murtaugh Motel in Penny Heights. They are known to restock in Giddings Mall.

Other locations where they claim as territory are:

Lavor Alley School in Pitneybank

Haydon Auto Repair in Spicer Hills

The Piggott Building in Spicer Hills

They are known to frequent Wasteland 23,97 in Spicer Hills as a revive point.

In Summation

Soldier decided to select a non-combatant character to pick on due to a disagreement with that player's owner. He chose this character even though it is well known he is a pacifist and survivor orientated. By doing this Soldier reveals himself and his group as cowardly.

Soldier refused generous peaceful overtones and responded with hostile acts and words.

Soldier and his group have been judged enemies of enlightenment and will be added to the Philosophe Knight Kill On Sight list. Their names and profiles will be forwarded to all allied groups and organisations that the Philosophe Knights are associated with.

Soldier's right to reply is hereby revoked. He is no longer welcome to post on any page in Iscariot's namespace. Precedent in Vandal Banning shows that an individual posting on another's namespace after specifically being informed that they are unwelcome constitutes an act of vandalism. Any breach will be reported.

When cycling suggestions, do not remove anything from the top, nor the SugVoteBox template from the voting section.

And to prove that I'm serious about this, you have 48 Hours to accept my appolgy. Failure would be, I don't know won't be tolerated. So to make a long story short I'm sorry and promise to stop making threats.

Recruitment problem Fixed

Okay, I've fixed it by removing it. I admit that the flag looks like it has been made by a 8 year old. But I have to warn you, if you insult me at anything else even I don't care I had to report about it. You're lucky I don't know how but insulting will not be tolerated the second time.

Firstly, fuck off! Don't bring demands to my page retard.
Secondly, go right to Vandal Banning, there's a link above. They'll also tell you to fuck right off, there is no civility policy on this wiki. Grow up.
Thirdly, read the fucking rules crotch spawn, it's not like I put them at the top so window lickers like you would be able to find them.

Behold everyone, the stupidity of this moron!
He dislikes my response so goes to his group page and lists one of my characters as a 'Psycopath' (evidently English wasn't his best subject in school, nor was using a spell checker).
Did he list my dastardly death cultist, a member of the renowned Gore Corps? No, this idiot decides to list my Philosophe Knight, yes, that would be the same character known to groups all over Malton as someone known for rebuilding Malton and preserving knowledge. It's not like it says on his page that he's a pacifist or anything. Picking on a peaceful librarian, how brave of the mighty Special Zombie Extermination Squad.
It would be wrong of me to use my death cultist to shoot him for his blatant stupidity, that would be zerging. Accordingly I'll have to respond from the view of my Philosophe Knight. He doesn't shoot people, so, what shall I do?
This idiot has 48 hours from the time of this post to write a grovelling and sincere apology and post it on this page. This apology is to be perfect in its spelling and grammar. He is also to remove my listing from his group's page permanently. The place of my listing is to be taken by an apology directed at every reader of his page apologising for his poor spelling and grammar and continued acts of stupidity on this wiki. This apology is to remain in place for three months.
Failure to comply with this benevolent compromise will result in the following action:
1. He and his group shall be added to the Philosophe Knights' enemy list. Every Knight coming across himself or his group will execute on site. Unlike the Rogue's Gallery, there is no way off this list.
2. The names and profiles of his group shall be passed to all Player Killer groups allied with the Philosophe Knights. These groups include the Spartans, Lebende Tote and the Flowers of Disease amongst others. I trust the consequences are obvious.
3. As before, names and profiles will be passed to the PKA so that all member groups can add to their target lists. As various groups are in the middle of two large events, the Malton Uprising and the Player Killer Olympics, this means that idiot boy and his group won't have many hiding places at all.
4. All survivor groups allied with the Philosophe Knights will be asked to restrict aid and contact to this group. Such venerable organisations that would be approached include the Quartly Study Group, The Fortress and the Malton College of Medicine.
I'd advise against 'fighting back'. The last group that tried fighting a PK coalition suffered crushing defeat and humiliation.

Internal Header

Whats an internal header?

OK, for starters, sign your posts, put ~~~~ after your post to do this.
Secondly internal headers are the sections surrounded by equals signs. They create a link from the contents box at the top. If you use more than the current section it is in you create an internal section of the preceding one. Such headers are banned from recruitment ads as they screw up the page by doing this. This is why I removed your ad, am about to do it again and will continue to do so for as long they remain in there. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief!

Problem with the recrutment Page

Hi - when I went on to update the timestamp on my recrutment advert I noticed that it was centre allingned. Upon closer inspection I found that everything from the C section onwards was centre aligned (which I know isnt suppose to be). It appears that "Cheap Ass Survivors : Pro-Survivor" groups recrutment adverticment is whats causeing it. I would sort it myself but I dont want to change anything incase I make a mistake or incase you need permission to edit peoples recrutments (I dont want to get into any trouble) - this is the reason I came to you. I know that you moniter and keep the recrutment page upto date so could you please have a look at it and see if it can be fixed. Many thanks in advance --Feon Kensai 10:19, 7 July 2008 (BST)

No-one needs permission to alter any advert that is breaking any of the guidelines or is breaking the page. I've had a look at the page and ad in question and can't see anything wrong. It might just be the way my screen's set up so I'll get Whitehouse to have a look. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 17:34, 7 July 2008 (BST)
No error in your browser, we were just looking at the wrong ad. If you look at the "C" header it was also centre aligned, as such it must have been the last ad in "B" section causing the "C" header and subsequent articles to centre. Appears that Browncoats recruitment ad hadn't closed their tags, causing articles below them to be included as part of their table and as such centred. Fixed now.

OK. There's a couple of my suggestions on the Talk:Suggestions page that are getting some good feedback, but before I progress with them any further, I want you to check to see if they're duplicates. Honestly, I'm useless at finding dupes as I can never really figure out where exactly to look for 'em.

Thank you in advance --Blake Firedancer T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T. 13:32, 26 June 2008 (BST)

I'm rushed off my feet with the real world at the moment, so you'll forgive me for not finding the exact links.
Number one (Going on the current 2.0 version on the linked page). This isn't a suggestion, this is several. That's going to get it killed as a suggestion from the start. Anyone who dislikes any aspect of the many things you are trying to implement is going to kill the whole thing on that basis.
The tuning of generators to run longer (with and without a prerequisite skill) has been done before. It was generally shot down due to the massive factor of the AP balance already in favour of survivors. This will get shot down for the same reason and by trenchies who don't want PKers lighting up their Fortresses of Eternal Darkness for longer to shoot them.
Number two (Going on the current suggested version). The notion of using that survivor's DNA is complex, as well as an open opportunity for zergers to have syringe mules specifically for themselves. Having it cure infection is what's going to get this spammed to death though due to the bigger implications. It means infection is no longer a problem, survivors no longer have to expend APs and revives holding malls and hospitals, this will cause an almost game breaking swing in AP balance from the current pro survivor to massively pro survivor. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge!

Not that I'm implying that The Dead are 'your side' but they did quite a bit of kvetching. And there was that whole 'On Strike' thing that I've heard a lot about (though it was long before my time). I do agree that survivors acting like trenchies are far more likely to whine than zombies acting like griefers are likely to whine (again - I'm not calling you a griefer, I'm talking about the extremes on both sides). In any case, it's a moot point. I've been playing zombies lately more than survivors, despite my wiki stance, and I think I know which of my alts I am going to turn PKer.

Hi Iscariot, sorry about my "impersonation" of you, which, while related to temporary feelings of anger at being called a retard, also had a lot to do with a misunderstanding of site policy and a sudden joyous power trip realization of the kinda crap you can get away with over the internet (that suggestion was my first wiki edit evar!)

I just don't find that playing my zombie would be fun if I was being total zombie/Death Cultist, at least while the Dead are on the march. I'd feel like I'm taking advantage of a bunch of cheaters being currently in the game. Even though that wouldn't make me a cheater, i'd feel like one by association. --Tselita 00:21, 25 April 2008 (BST)

Some people, even career zombies, don't like DCing. TBH I only use it as a label for shorthand, I've been working on a philosophy of something very different for a potential new group. Playing a zombie doesn't mean you have to associate with The Dead. I recommend RRF or MOB, I know people in both (as well as a few other hordes) and they'll look after you and make you smile in ways you didn't think possible in this game (see Zoey and I singing and dancing in the middle of a safehouse being destroyed). Once you have a zombie alt, you'll realise where the fun is in this game. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem!

RE:Recruitment

Hey, I'm no longer looking after that page. Had to give it up to deal with real life stuff. It'd be great if you'd be willing to keep it tidy. - W 23:40, 22 April 2008 (BST)

14 days and out is correct. I used to edit out ads that had minor flaws (using <!-- / -->), and I'd delete ads which breached the major rules. Either way works, you should leave a dated comment under the removed ads header explaining what was wrong. If they don't do anything within two weeks of your comment, just remove the header.

Can I pick your mind?

Hey, I was reading on the posts and you seem to know every dupe ever posted so could I question you on those grounds?Gabdewulf 04:39, 21 April 2008 (BST)

A Zombie respawn, basically when a zombie is killed, they stand up somewhere other than where they were killed, has been already been suggested, right?. Do you remember where or when?

Also, walls or other means of limiting travel and zombie's human memories of building names, what kind of suggestions have been brought about these? Gabdewulf 16:44, 21 April 2008 (BST)


My focus is strictly on Malton. I didn't get into Monroeville because it seemed purely temporary.

Yes it was always designed to be temporary.

While, yes, low levels zombies have to spend a sizeable chunk of the current game day standing up, how many days of game play are lost by pro-suriviors when thier killed? A pro-surivior has to stand up, travel to a rp, and wait and hope that someone is reviving. Also with the current state of the city, a great many of the RP are abandoned. As far as time goes, pro-surivior suffer higher penalties for getting back in the action after death even when compared to a zombie being head shotted every single day. Because at the very least, a zombie gets to play thier character every single day.

You don't have to just go be a mrh? cow at a RP, you could scout, move about, decade overcaded buildings.

Also, its been my experience that very few low level zombies worry about the 2ap traveling by zking, unless maybe thier a meat shield, to get the early skills.

2AP to move hurts, a lot. Also ZKing cuts your XP gain in half, and remaining stationery broadcasts your position to trenchies who then headshot you for more AP loss.

Creedy fell cus the zombies focused on the fort, while the defenders focused on the nieghborgood. And, even with the entire neighborhood's buildings being pretty heavily secured, the zombies just strolled past and started the seige on the fort. And this is the agruement for walls/movement and/or removal of bulding names. The repeated pattern seems the mass of zombies skiping into green neighborhoods, destroying the resource buildings with meat shield tactics, and letting lower levels finish the suriviors.

Erm, no. Creedy fell because forts are death traps. The Bash used the same tactics against a mall and were stuck for two weeks. I should know, I was there. Zombies are supposed to go into green suburbs and eat everyone, that's the point of a zombie apocalypse. You are evidently confusing meat shielding tactics with something else, meat shielding is a survivor tactic. Allowing low levels to gain the kill bonus is entirely legal, survivors could do the same if they got organised.

But even with the current numbers of s/z, the survivours are being crowded into a smaller area. The majority of the city is at the red level and kept there by alts so the survivours can't escape. The overcrowding causes survivours search rate to increasingly reduce, which will cause the city to shrink further. What happends when the zombies finish destroying the city? How many players will/have left by then?

What search rates are you on about? Search rates are at the highest they've ever been since I started playing the game. I remember when it took a week to stock up on ammo. I do that now in a day.

And the agruement about zombie player being a minority is that zombie player, when revive, are PKing. When surivours die, they either zombie or are waiting to revive. gabdewulf 22:56, 22 April 2008 (BST)

Yes, your point? Also, not all zombies PK, the major hordes actually have rules against it. There should be a downside to dying as a survivor, otherwise everyone would have instant revives and we'd be playing Urban PK. And how are you having trouble finding a revive?

Dear Iscariot , first i would like to thank you for fixing the PPD wiki page. I'm a newbie when it comes to editing the pages but am trying my best . Concerning the target list for WTE our scouts have been in certain areas witnessing and takeing survivor evidence of attacks . I ADMIT we have no proof of it being you guys . It has been speculation so far, as you guys are the most organized in this burb. Concerning this and pov, i will try and tone down the messages left on the burb page . But if you'd like to just tell us where you are to confirm our sightings we will gladly bring donuts ,coffee and little tents for when you are sieging buildings .Hope to keep in touch.--Flub 13:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

More A/VB

A few points:

  1. Sign your posts
  2. Present accurate diff comparisons. Skipping revisions in diffs without providing a damned good explaination as to why is extremely deceptive and is usually an attempt to get another person in trouble for impersonation when none has happened.
  3. A/VB is not for asking about things. Go to the talk page of another sysop, or the A/VB talk page to make requests, otherwise it will be seen as a charge and dealt with appropriately. --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 16:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

An alternative point of view.

Just reading your comments on siege descriptions.

Shaun of the dead. None to start with, but when david says there was only a couple before you came here, how many are there here now and di says "lots". You CAN hear moaning and some glass breaking.

Also how about in the winchester after Ed wins the jackpot on Ooh Aah Dracula, and you hear all the zombies groaning before they attack, or before they break through into the celler?

28 days later is not a zombie film. Sorry.

Resident evil. Can't hear the zombies inside the red queens control area. An underground bunker, with laser defences, where even the glass walls of the flooded lab let through only a dull thump and are strong enough to hold back the weight of an entire room of water.. Thats a secret base, under the ground. Designed specially to stop outbreaks moving between sections. So I assume soundproof.

Day of the dead. When outside you can hear them. When down a lift, across a car park and into an underground lab. No sound. That isnt the same kind of distance as the otherside of a hastily barricaded door to a mall.

I of course understand your no x ray vision argument and in all honestly its probably a bad time to suggest it 38% zombies and all that. But hey. opinions.--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, let's see:
SOTD - I'd be putting that down to him just having gotten in with the window still open, how many can you hear when Shaun and Liz are talking things over or when they're talking about Shaun getting them satellite?
28 Days Later - Really? I'd love to hear your explanations for this one, as, not to put too fine a point on it, I know film scholars who disagree with you.
Resident Evil - If it was designed to stop infection spreading, RQ wouldn't have killed everyone in the entire base. Also you can't hear the zombies 'sneak up' on them in the underground walkway until they attack.
Day of The Dead - Exactly, you're outside, if survivors go outside in UD they get the information this gives for free, I have no problem, but the action of going outside costs AP. Also in Dawn they are on the other side of a hastily barricaded door in a mall and can't hear a thing....
Barring us disagreeing on our definition of hastily, a fine reposte sir. Good to see that discussion is still alive.

28 days later is not a zombie film because.

  • No one says zombie
  • Headshots are not required, see various machete attacks, land mines.
  • The infected are not dead. Otherwise why would they starve "to death".
  • Its a blood transmitted infection, and spit and vomit. Its seems strange to me that the blood of the infected would be so fresh. Are the hearts still pumping?
  • The zombie soldier was knocked out, before being tied up. Ever see a zombie knocked out?
  • Look at the corpses in the film. The heros parents, those in the cafe, nothing like the infected who barring their eyes, have a very alive appearance.
  • As the taxi driver is infected, he slowly looses control of his actions. Hes not alive, then dead and then back, its a gradual process as the virus takes over his body.
  • The infected dont consume flesh, they are only infected with rage, the need to infect others, there is no feeding dynamic. Biting is not key.
  • The animal welfare people seeing the monkeys believe them to be fine.
  • In the sequel theres a women who has the disease, but appears normal. How can she be dead?
  • The Infected? Does that imply dead? Or an active carrier?

Have a present.

Oh and do you have the DVD? Look at the alternative storyboard ending. where cillian murphy undergoes a complete blood transfusion with the taxi driver to bring him bank and condemn cillian to the life of an infected. That shows he isnt dead. No dead = no zombie.--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I need to mention that actually, 28 Days Later (and the sequel, 28 Weeks Later) -are- zombie films .... but only in the same way that I am Legend is a zombie film. It's a 'hard science' version of the zombie film genre, where they are not actually referred to 'as' zombies and they don't share one Romero zombie similarity - ie, they are not dead. Hard Science Fiction tends to try to do things in a way which is scientifically still plausible - having the dead actually come back to life is not plausible in a realistic setting, but having a population being in a state that mimics a zombified state for all practical purposes IS plausible, hence hard science fiction. It's worth noting that real life cases of 'zombies' in the carribean are also not dead, but rather 'bereft of any will of their own'. But other than the not being dead part, the infected in 28 days later (and I am Legend, and The Omega Man) are zombies, and all three movies are still classified as zombie movies (even the authors of the books which those movies were based on stated that it fell into the zombie genre).--Tselita 18:15, 8 April 2008 (BST)
